Q36.5: to maintain an ideal body temperature

After more than 20 years in the cycling industry, Luigi Bergamo launched Q36.5 in the summer of 2013, an avant-garde brand for competitive cycling apparel. Q = QUAERERE, from Latin meaning 'to seek', and 36.5 representing the ideal body temperature, highlights the true meaning of the acronym 'Q36.5'. More than just a name, Q36.5 embodies a whole design ideology. As a flagship brand in the cycling world, Q36.5 has set itself a challenge since its inception: to design textiles and accessories for cyclists to help them maintain this ideal temperature. Collaborating with leading Italian material developers, Q36.5 has surrounded itself with the right partners to achieve its goals. Proud to offer its customers some of the lightest men's cycling jerseys on the market, Q36.5 continues to enhance its quality development. Now expanding into the realms of Nordic skiing, running, and mountaineering, the brand develops a wide range of products from cycling jackets to MTB shoes and technical t-shirts. For the key lies not in warming or cooling, but in balance, and that is what Q36.5 has made its motto!

Q36.5: ergonomic to the very end of the sleeves!

The products of Q36.5, unique for their design, are also distinguished by their textile quality. Not only are they made in partnership with the best Italian textile producers, but their multiple technologies are patented, ensuring superior quality compared to many textiles found today. These exclusive fabrics always aim to provide athletes with a guarantee of optimal performance. To ensure this performance, Q36.5 has remained close to its roots while being accessible to its end consumers, thus becoming the number one tester. In the town of Tyrol, at the foot of the Dolomites, surrounded by amateur, pro, U23 cyclists, or travellers, it is here that Q36.5 has established its home for the creation of all the fabrics that will shape the jerseys of tomorrow. While the lightness of Q36.5 products is well established, their ergonomics are equally impressive. Whether you opt for shorts, a jersey, or gloves, rediscover sensations of speed thanks to the reduction of unnecessary seams and the optimisation of fabric use. Yet, Q36.5 never forgets a key aspect of their design approach: sustainability. While most of their exclusive fabrics come entirely or partially from recycling, Q36.5 dares to highlight its mindset against the current fast-fashion trend. Their 'Essential' range proves that producing durable and contemporary clothing is possible. Minimalist in design, its products are timeless, and their renewal only occurs every four years, allowing time for genuinely useful innovation to be developed. With Q36.5, you can be sure to purchase only the best (nothing more) for your gear!
